Well it’s too bad the “best” team didn’t get to play today but the team with the best towels won another one when it really counted. Hope all you Titan folks have a nice winter and will find ways to forget about what could have been, look at things in a more objective fashion, and spend less time hurling insults at other teams, their players, and their fans. I’ll take the Steelers when the money and the rings are on the line. No one’s won 6 rings yet (disco + post disco era) but it sure would be sweet. I think it might take a number of years for your guys to catch up to 5, but 6 might be downright unapproachable. :)

I’m not sure what that (d…head) term means. Is it anything like a ghetto redneck or a neanderthal?

If you’ve watched the posts here on Music City for the past few weeks you’ve probably noticed that a number of the locals have tended to react to anything that doesn’t agree with their line of thinking with expletives, “just go away” invitations, and big rants about how the Titans “raped” the Steelers when they played. So it seems that a small bit of payback is to be expected. It almost guaranteed that you Titan lovers will be pulling for Arizona. That was one way the Steelers won the 2008 award for the best fans in the NFL – they scored points for the hate factor – how much other teams fans love to hate the Steeler fans. And by the way, the Steelers will be in trouble in the Super Bowl if they play as sloppy as they did tonight at times: stupid penalty, dropped touchdown pass, ridiculous punt, shoddy clock management, etc. But the “best” teams do seem to have a strong will to win and the ability to make the big plays when they count the most. I’m just a d…head neanderthal and may know nothing but I believe that’s one difference between the teams that are still playing and the ones that aren’t.

You, my friend, are an idiot. Stay on your side of the steelcurtain. Better yet, hope that it slams down on you head.

Hurray for the Steelers for beating the Ravens. We’ve also done that. We also kicked your team’s @ss, and we would have done it again. You were lucky with that interception and you know it.

Do me a favor – don’t troll this board unless you are also ready to come over when you lose.

If the Steelers lose I’ll still be on over. Even though it’s a pretty rough crowd and I don’t think most of you use logic as much as emotion, you’re still fun to talk to. As a Tennessean and potential Titans fan, it’s actually been a good education into the mindset of the Titan faithful.

But rather than “lucky” I’d call that Polamalu pick a matter of stepping up and making a big play when it was needed. Just like the hit on McGahee and the other pick that followed. I know you don’t want to hear it again but that’s why the Steelers and Ravens were playing on Sunday and your team wasn’t. Your guys simply didn’t make the big plays when they were needed and choked up at least 4 times in the Ravens game.

Do you think more people will remember that the Titans beat the Ravens and the Steelers during the season or that the Ravens and Steelers played in a heavyweight grudge match for the AFC championship and the Steelers won?

Classic post game line by the Steelers Hines Ward: “They wanted us – they got us!”

Jimmy,

Since an emphatic form of the “go away” message has been broadcast again I’ll do so. But I do think some of your guys might benefit from an “anger management and southern hospitality” blog. See you in Tampa.

Good analysis Beans. I’m just a lowly Steeler fan but this kind of stuff (except for that last Classic) makes a lot more sense to me than a bunch of f*** bombs. Maybe your guys will be able to make a run next season before Kiffin whips the Vols into shape to dominate the NCAA and steal the limelight.

A Titan fan named Oden1 actually started (not just posted on) a thread on The Curtain.

A number of other Titans fans like Beans, Jimmy, Gramsey, Francisco were very active on at least one thread – the infamous Towel incident.

So what’s up with the big “go away d***h***, you have your own blog” strategy that you all (how’s that for Tennessee talk) keep pulling out of the hat when you’re unhappy?

I honestly didn’t come to your blogs to brag about beating the Ravens. I actually found you guys by accident the day after the Titans/Steelers game while trying to research those (particularly Bulluck) responsible for the Steeler towel abuse. When I arrived I found a great deal of Steeler bashing going on and this was very annoying to me so I began posting some statistics about the Steelers. This brought on a number of profanity-laced tirades and “just go away” missives. Most of the stuff I’ve read, a lot of which was directed to me and one or two Raven fans, seemed to be much more emotional ranting than factual dialog like your above “I beg to differ” post. Even though I live in East Tn and am fond of UT football, at this point I’m a lot less likely to ever become a Titans fan as a result of what I’ve seen and heard. I honestly don’t think most of you/them could care one bit and that’s OK. But the discussions I saw on the Steel Curtain blog didn’t have anything near the highly angry tone I’ve generally received here. I must admit I threw some gas on the fire from time to time but the people were generally so abrasive and it was so easy to annoy them that I could hardly resist. So there you have it. I’ll try to just focus on Tampa and stay out of your space but unwarranted comments like “go the fuck away you mouth breathing, knuckle dragging retard” tend to prod me into firing back. It’s sort of off topic but have you ever thought about the fact that a silver back gorilla is a knuckle dragging retard? Wonder if anyone would ever say that to his face? :)

Darn, I was trying to misspell it on purpose.

Speaking of the Titans, do any of you think that Collins might be just the kind of mentor VY needs? If I’m remembering correctly, Kerry had some “leadership” issues of his own back in the bad old days and looked like he wasn’t going to make it for awhile.

I haven’t read that much stuff on the Steel Curtain blog, but it generally seems to me that the “I can say what I want and you can’t see me, hit me, or tell my wife or pastor about me” environment tends to bring out the Neanderthal side of all of us. Add in a few brewskis or some Jack Black and who knows what might happen?
